Sight seeing over KSFO

Post by bmbrzmn101 »

Nothing mind blowing or major. I just wanted to fly the old girl for a bit as I have not been able to get behind her controls for over a month. I took off from KSFO for about a 30 minute refresher flight around the patch. Enjoyed seeing the sights, flight was uneventful, approach was steady until nearing the airport the the computer began to stutter a little. I made a landing that was heavy handed due to the FPS issue I have on an older system in these larger airports with most of the sliders to the right. But we taxied in head held high and owned it. Just thankful career mode was off, lol.

Enjoy, Chris

Nice screenshots Chris - thanks for sharing them. I have to admit that I too usually turn off career mode in the Connie if I am just messing around. I sometimes try to do things in the Connie that I used to do in a Citabria in my real world flying days and believe me you need to have career mode switched off when you're doing a roll, although it's worth giving it a try just to hear the sound effects emanating from the back!

Nice shots! Wonder what happens to your Captain's Log if you fly under the GG Bridge? Or do a touch and go at Half Moon Bay Airport?
